Fined for using alternative fuel types?


More talk and cases of injustices in our legal system? not kidding. Bob Teixeira of North Carolina decided to mod his diesel car so it runs on vegetable oil. Sounds like an awesome and great idea! Break our dependence on foreign oil, and work towards alternative forms of fuel. Our government appearantly doesn't think it's such a cool thing. Bob Teiceira has been fined $1,000 for not paying fuel taxing! Not only that, he has been told to expect another $1,000 fine from the federal goverment, and he would have to post a $2,500 bond if he ever wants to use vegetable oil legally.
